Although research on the control of networked systems has grown considerably, graph-theoretic and algorithmic studies on matrix-weighted graphs remain limited. To bridge this gap in the literature, this work introduces two algorithms-the…
Due to the computational complexity of finding almost shortest simple paths, we propose that identifying a larger collection of (nonbacktracking) paths is more efficient than finding almost shortest simple paths on positively weighted…

Given a graph and a pair of terminals $s$, $t$, the next-to-shortest path problem asks for an $s\!\to \!t$ (simple) path that is shortest among all not shortest $s\!\to \!t$ paths (if one exists). This problem was introduced in 1996, and…
